Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Offishul YellowSnow's Record Shoppe BBQ/meat smoking thread

There will be no discussion of cooking hamburgers on a grill here. That is not barbecue. Nor is it BBQ. That is grilling meat. If you are doing that because people are coming over to your house, that is a cookout. Cookouts and grilling meat on a direct flame are good, fun things, and we should do them, but they are not the same as putting a big ole slab of meat on a smoker for 10+ hours.

There will also be no discussion of ribs in a crockpot.

Anyway, lets discuss. Smokers, cuts, WOOD, spices, whatever.

It's a beautiful day in the DMV and the golf course is closed on Mondays so I'm going to call in to meetings while firing up the Weber Smoky Mountain for a whole chicken and a leg of lamb. Have never done a leg of lamb before (other than one time when a bunch of buddies and I did a whole lamb pit roasted, that was amazing) so will see what happens. Experimenting is fun. The internets indicate that the time it takes to get to medium rare are about the same about of time as a whole chicken, (3 hours). Going with hickory WOOD chunks today.

    I grill therefore I am

    You all go on with you fancy smokers and barbecue. It's good stuff

    That's why I always knew where the best places to buy it are

    I've done some bone in, legs of lamb in the Weber kettle grill using indirect heat and a bit of hickory wood over the Kingsford.

    The results were excellent.

    My bitch face ex wife was half Greek, so I've seen those Hellenistic bros do an entire lamb on a spit.

    If I like my crockpot, can I keep it?

    Is it a Miele brand crockpot @BennyBeaver ?

    I smoke on my big green egg with a flame boss. Excellent results. Been smoking salmon lately as I finally got a good recipe I like. I found a great local place that has a vast selection of wood for cooking.

    Standard XMas is taking a full prime rib roast and putting it out on the big egg for however long it takes

    Long and slow off of direct heat is important

    My Dad uses all kinds of wood but I tend to be more partial to apple than richer woods

    Long and slow is the key to anything ...

    Vegi's on the grill is a big time winner as well

    Can we get back to talking about grilling burgers?
